99% Invisible: Frozen Music

99% Invisible is, as producer Roman Mars tells it, a “tiny radio show about design, architecture & the 99% invisible activity that shapes our world”. Don’t let the “tiny” fool you: there’s nothing small about the ideas Mars explores.

Episode 56: Frozen Music

On this week’s episode, Roman considers how the recording of music has changed the way we think about music. As part of this edition, 99% Invisible rebroadcasts an interview from Sound Opinions with music super-producer Jon Brion. It’s superb.

Roman wants to “throw down” in the comments section on this episode at 99% Invisible about how the “objects of music change the way” we both make and listen to music.

So get over there when you’re done listening. Join in the fun.
